Overview —“ Rust In Peace, Megadeth’s fourth album, is considered the band’s greatest achievement and it’s also my personal favorite album from the band. For one thing, Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman never sounded so good together as they do on this album, the way that Friedman’s solos work …

Overview - Dark Side Of The Moon, the album considered to be Pink Floyd’s best work and one of rock’s greatest albums in history, is primarily a record more on the mellow side, although still a very powerful album. Roger Waters did a lot less songwriting on this album …

I have always been a gigantic fan of orchestral music, so breaking out of the classical composer oriented soundtrack variety is somewhat refreshing, especially because of the cinematic sound that permeates Globus’s debut album, “Epicon”. Needless to say, I was impressed with it and would certainly like to hear …

When Blink 182 had their fallout and Tom Delonge went his way, Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus went their way, and formed this band with a friend. When Your Heart Stops Beating is an impressive album, after the failure of Blink 182’s last album I thought they had …

Campfire Songs is the third studio album by Animal Collective.

Besides the two musical epics on American Idiot, Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming, I think that I would have to say that Letterbomb is my favorite, for lack of a better word, —˜normal’ song. I believe there’s just something about Armstrong’s vocals on this track which is brilliant and …

The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …

“Be Without You”
Performer: Mary J. Blige
Every since I can remember, I have been a fan–I use the term loosely–of Mary J. Blige’s music. I say I use the term loosely because I don’t really consider myself a fan: Fans stand out in the rain for concert tickets; fans plaster …
